I cant see other reason why not invest in bitcoin, because bitcoin is good investing where you can earn profit from it buy holding your bitcoin even in a few months, that unlike in bank even 1year of waiting your money is still the same value.
Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

The reasons that make it reluctant to invest this virtual currency are vulnerable to hacker attacks. The bitcoin value also fluctuates somewhat, making investors still reluctant to start bitcoin business. Therefore many people avoid using bitcoin as an investment because its value is somewhat less stable.

So there has been a lot of hype about bitcoin lately and I know it is revolutionary and has lots of advantages. But let's try to state the reasons why exactly do you personally think that bitcoin is not great and lacks in some points. I know it has great applications and is just great but it is not falwless right?
My question is simple and straight, What are the flaws of bitcoin?
Except its high volatility and "Dark use" (in illegal activities).



I don't see any reason why you don't invest in bitcoin because if you invest in bitcoin there's a chance that you will be rich and successful. I think that other said that you are not invest in bitcoin because when they invest they don't get a salary.

There is no happenstance can be immaculate in this world. Each framework is imperfect thus does bitcoin. Nonetheless, change is additionally being done on that. Bitcoin exchanges are slower contrasted with numerous different altcoins so helping system is being tried to enhance the speed. Bitcoin exchange were costlier prior, reception of segwit helped it diminish. So it's a continuous exertion.

I think such a thread like these is not very usable for everyone who is invested in cryptocurrencies. Because the most people here are invested, so we should not make any bad publicity about it. SO instead of that, i personally would invest in any other altcoin then bitcoin. The reason is simple. BItcoin rised already a lot. So maybe it can make a 2/3x, but thats it. But other altcoins, they have more potential to make a 10x or a 100x. And thats what we all want. The most possible profit.

Well, first off, it's hard to invest in a digital currency that can be easily deviated in pricing because of 'whales' who owns a buttload of bitcoins they can easily dispose to manipulate market pricing. Another reason is the volatility. Crazy that people withstand the volatility of bitcoins and still invest in the ups and downs.

Maybe the bitcoin is not quite spreadout, or they dont like to invest because mybe no one encourage what bitcoin is.Most people if they invest they assure the outcome must be high but it depends on how you handle the buisness.

because of its freedom, yes, bitcoin is very vulnerable to use for illegal activities and it could harm the state and the government would not agree it. because there is no limit to bitcoin transactions, the user can use them for any transaction, including illegal activity.

It seems unlikely that most Bitcoin users have been reporting these gains. Those who do not may be involved in tax evasion. The IRS has broad powers to investigate evasion, and may require counterparties to reveal information, including computer keys, which can lead to discovery of the transacting parties. Given the fact that the IRS has engaged in selective enforcement against Tea Party activists and other political opponents in recent years, this is a serious potential problem for libertarian users of Bitcoin.

That is true that bitcoin is more prone or vulnerable to be used as a gateway for doing illegal activities but the countries and their governments are already making some actions or preparations in order to minimize that risk and they are doing it by launching regulations or limits to the user of bitcoin so the abusive act will not occur.

I am concerned about two issues associated with bitcoin:
1. it is quite difficult to raise a large amount in cash without attracting attention from the tax authorities and scammers,
2. high risk of losing BTC, exchanges are hacking, wallets are hacking, phishing sites, etc.

I think the biggest problem is that the cost of Bitcoin is too high. Now the price of Bitcoin will not fluctuate too much. If there are other cryptocurrencies that are optimistic, I would rather choose the other ones, because their returns will be higher than Bitcoin. Although the risk will be higher.

The main reason why I don't invest here in bitcoin because of some scammers are being caught by the police and other investor here in bitcoin are complaining about their money that have been scammed. I thought the there are more scammers now in bitcoin so I would not invest here because I want to become safe my earnings or my money.

This topic has given me great answers and some useless too. Overall all I needed to know has been stated in the given replies and some of the posts in this thread are useless too. I am locking this topic so that no more trash posts or repeated answers pollute this forum!
Happy bittalking!
